Last Day of Freedom

Today is my last day at home from a few days off of work.  I will not use the term "staycation."  That is ridiculous.  Sometimes people just stay home.  It is by no means a vacation.  I had let things go at home.  It was dragging me down.  At some point an unorganized house takes my energy. 
I cleaned out the closet in the kid's room, got rid of some toys, rearranged the furniture.  They love it.  I'm glad to find more room in the closet.  I rested, too much!  I read.  I read some more.  I cleaned my book room and book room closet.  It was terrible.  I hoard clothes.  It has to stop.  I have a few bags ready for good will.  One day I went to the pool alone.  It was awesome.  A friend met me after I had been there about an hour.  We water walked.  It was so great to be in the sun just for me.  It is silly for me to miss the pool.  I need to just go.  If I have to go alone, I still need to go.  Water and sun make me so happy.  Someone remind me of that early in the summer next year!  Unless it is raining, I will be forcing the grand kids to the pool on Saturday.  I think I have them a few hours why Tru Stories takes a class and Coach works. 
This is what I have figured out.  I have become exhausted.  Overwhelmed with the stresses of life.  Some of that is out of my control.  What is in my control is remembering to do things for me.  Some of those things are with my little people.  (Like the Smurf movie yesterday.)  Some things I need to do for me. 
Here are some of my goals:
Go to the pool once a week until it closes.
Do not miss the next French Market.
Take some walks.
Plan a girls week-end.
When it cools down, take my little people on a couple of new adventures.  (I want to take them to Arthur.)

Just having my book room clean is going to lift a cloud off of me.  It tends to be my junk room.  I love walking in when it is all picked up.  I still need to get rid of more clothes from my closet but baby stepping my way through that.
Now to finish cleaning.  Do some reading.  Enjoy the last few hours of my freedom. 
I hope I am back to some positive blogging!  Thanks to those of you that told me you missed me!
